Activity 1: Study the Story Pictures
- Before reading or listening to the story, study and describe the pictures accompanying the story.
Activity 2: Recite the Book Information
- Before and after reading or listening to the story, recite aloud the name of the author, the title of the book, and the title of the chapter.
Activity 3: Narrate the Story
- After reading or listening to the story, narrate the events of the story aloud in your own words.
Activity 4: Act Out the Story
- In the story, some of the animal language involves movements instead of spoken words. Create your own language that uses body movements instead of words.
- Perhaps wiggling your nose means, 'Thank you' and raising your pinky finger means, 'you're welcome.'
- Make up movements for five words or phrases and have a short conversation with them.
